峨眉山大火成岩省的地球化学特征及其动力学指纹

峨眉山大陆溢流玄武岩省（ECFB）是中国国内唯一被国际学术界认可的大火成岩省，其独特的地球化学特征和完整的岩浆演化序列，日渐引起了地学界的关注。但总体研究程度还很低，随着研究的推进，需要探讨以下问题：（1）对比ELIP各岩区的地球化学特征；（2）探讨ELIP岩浆岩演化趋势及其地球化学特征；（3）寻找更多地幔柱成因证据；（4）研究其化学储库特征及其地球动力学指纹。本文从岩石地球化学、PGE地球化学、同位素地球化学和动力地球化学等方面作了较系统的探讨。 本文除了对峨眉山玄武岩活动时段、S不饱和特征、三大趋势及其氧逸度、两大序列、高镁玄武岩等作了探讨外，还建立了一些新的微量元素、PGE和热动力熔融模拟图解，系统对REE、蛛网配分模式图进行了孔隙度动力熔融模拟，通过Sr－Nd－Pb同位素混合模拟较细致的研究了ELIP源区DM与EM组份比例。首次对ECFB的PGE含量作了定量模拟，表明ELIP起源于0.3－1％的外核物质+50％亏损上地幔+50－49.7％下部原始地幔的混合源区。 模拟还表明ELIP西岩区熔融源区在Gt橄榄岩到Sp二辉橄榄岩地幔内（熔融压力3.0～1.8GPa），部分熔融度2－8%，部分小于<2%；中岩区熔融源区在Gt－Sp二辉橄榄岩地幔内（熔融压力3.0－2.5GPa），熔融度主要<2％；东岩区熔融源区在Gt－Sp二辉橄榄岩内（熔融压力2.9～2.4GPa），部分熔融小于1％。笔者认为从西到东，上覆岩石圈从薄的特提斯大洋盖层变为厚的扬子克拉通盖层环境，这导致熔融压力／深度的增加而平均熔融度降低，这与根据EFB中的La/Yb比值推测的岩石圈下熔融面地图基本一致。 通过Sr-Nd同位素动力学模式探讨了ELIP的组份异质性，认为亏损的镁铁质大洋板片携带泛古陆上地壳陆源沉积物，俯冲脱水后长期（约1Ga）储积在热边界层，沉积物与亏损古洋壳发生交代混合形成富集地幔（EM2），并被峨眉山地幔柱捕获夹带入头部，并在P/Tr冲击登陆于扬子克拉通西缘，从而产出含有UCC（或TS或GLOSS）组份特征的ECFB。

四川省拉拉铜矿床岩石学及地球化学研究

拉拉铜矿床位于扬子地块西缘的康滇隆起中段，赋存于经历变质的古元古代河口群海相火山-沉积岩系中，是我国重要的受变质热液叠加或改造的火山成因块状硫化物矿床（VHMS）之一，也是四川省最大的铜矿生产基地。本论文以该矿床为研究对象，在系统整理前人资料的基础上，进行了深入细致的野外地质考察和系统采样，选取代表性样品，运用电子探针分析技术、元素地球化学、同位素地球化学（Rb-Sr、Sm-Nd、S）、锆石U-Pb定年等方法手段，对矿区新元古代大规模区域变质作用的变质条件、变质原岩、广泛分布于矿区多个赋矿层位的辉长辉绿岩脉、岩石及矿石性质、硫源、成矿时代等主要岩石学及矿床学问题进行了系统研究，并结合前人研究成果，探讨了矿床的成因机制。论文主要取得以下几点认识： （1）矿区变质火山岩的成岩年龄为1695±20Ma，岩浆在上升侵位的过程中捕获了古元古代早期地壳物质，后期变质改造的时代约为700-800Ma。 （2）基于石榴石黑云母片岩中石榴石黑云母矿物对的电子探针分析数据，利用石榴石-黑云母地质温度计和多硅白云母地质压力计确定了矿区新元古代大规模区域变质作用的变质条件：变质温度为530-580℃，变质压力上限为0.66-0.76GPa，对应于高绿片岩相。 （3）矿区出露的岩石类型以云母片岩类和钠长岩类岩石为主，二者共同构成了矿区的围岩及赋矿岩石，通过对代表性样品的元素地球化学、同位素地球化学研究，采用DF函数判别法、(Al/3-K)-(Al/3-Na)图解法、La/Yb-TR图解法，并结合岩矿鉴定及结构构造特征，恢复了矿区的变质原岩。其中，矿区的云母片岩类样品的变质原岩为沉积岩，以页岩为主，主要来自大陆岛弧及上地壳物质的风化；而钠长岩类样品的变质原岩为火山岩，源自富集地幔，包括“右倾型”钠长岩和“平坦型”钠长岩，前者为分离结晶作用早期并经历一定程度地壳混染的产物，后者主要形成于分离结晶作用晚期，Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、P、Ti等达到饱和并以副矿物晶出。 （4）综合矿区变质沉积岩及变质火山岩的构造环境判别结果，确定了二者形成于大陆岛弧的弧后盆地环境。 （5）通过对矿区变质火山岩性质、形成机制及硫同位素研究，讨论了矿床中成矿元素可能的富集机制，即地幔中大量的亲铜元素及硫元素进入母岩浆并随之上升形成区域分布的火山岩，为矿床的形成提供了必要条件。 （6）侵入河口群地层并广泛出露于矿区多个赋矿层位的辉长辉绿岩脉的化学成分与板内碱性玄武岩类似且形成于大陆裂谷环境下的类似OIB源区，是高温地幔柱部分熔融的产物，幔源岩浆在上升侵位过程中受到了地壳物质尤其是上地壳物质较小程度的混染，表明新元古代Rodinia超大陆裂解对拉拉地区的成矿作用有重要影响。 （7）拉拉铜矿床主要存在两个成矿期次，即火山喷气-沉积成矿期（1700 Ma左右）和变质热液成矿期（700-800Ma）。矿区主要存在两种类型矿石，即条纹、条带状矿石和块状、浸染状矿石，前者主要赋存于变质火山岩中，可能形成于火山喷气-沉积成矿期，后者主要赋存于变质沉积岩中，可能为变质热液成矿期的产物。

Comparative study by infrared spectroscopy and microcalorimetry of the CO adsorption over supported palladium catalysts

The adsorption of CO on Al(2)O(3), ZrO(2), ZrO(2)-SiO(2), and ZrO(2)-La(2)O(3) supported Pd catalysts was studied by adsorption microcalorimetry and infrared (TR) spectroscopy. Some interesting and new correlations between the results of microcalorimetry and IR spectroscopy have been found. The CO is adsorbed on palladium catalysts in three different modes: multibonded (3-fold), bridged (2-fold), both on Pd(lll) and (100) planes, and linear (1-fold) adsorbed species. The corresponding differential adsorption heats lie in the field of high (210-170 kJ/mol), medium (140-120 kJ/mol), and low (95-60 kJ/mol) values, respectively. The nature of the support, the reduction temperature, and the pretreatment conditions affect the surface structure of the Pd catalysts, resulting in variations in the site energy distribution, i.e., changes in the fraction of sites adsorbing CO with specific heats of adsorption. Moreover, the CeO(2); promoter addition weakens the adsorption strength of CO on palladium. Based on the exposed results, a correctness factor, which considers the percentages of various CO adsorption states, must be introduced when one calculates the Pd dispersion using CO adsorption data.

Synthesis of a terbium fluorescent chelate and its application to time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay

A new nonadentate ligand, N, N, N-1, N-1-[2,6-bis(3'-aminomethyl-1 1'-pyrazolyl)-4-phenylpyridine]tetrakis(acetic acid) (BPTA) for a Tb3+ fluorescent complex was synthesized. The Tb3+ complex is strongly fluorescent, having a large fluorescence quantum yield of 1.00 and very long fluorescence lifetime of 2.681 ms in 0.05 M berate buffer of pH 9.1. Streptavidin (SA) was labeled with SPTA by using its succinimidyl monoester, and the BPTA-Tb3+-labeled SA was used in sandwich-type time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) of alpha -fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human sera. The Tb3+-labeled SA was also used in competitive type TR-FIA of bensulfuron- methyl (BSM) in water. The detection limits of these assays are 42 pg/mL for AFP, 70 pg/mL for CEA, and 0.4 ng/mL for BSM. In addition, a new simultaneous measurement method for AFP and CEA in a human serum sample was developed by using 4,4'-bis(1 " ,1 " ,1 " ,2 " ,2 " ,3 " ,3 " -heptafluoro-4 " ,6 " -hexanedion-6 " -yl)chlorosulfo-o-terphenyl ((BHHCT)-Eu3+-labeled anti-AFP antibody, biotinylated anti-CEA antibody, and BPTA-Tb3+-labeled SA. The concentrations of AFP and CEA in 39 human serum samples were determined, and the results were compared with those of the independently determined AFP and CEA by TR-FIA with a single-label method. A good correlation was obtained with the correlation coefficients of 0.991 for AFP and 0.994 for CEA.

Homogeneous time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of bensulfuron-methyl by using terbium fluorescence energy transfer

A sensitive homogenous time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) method for bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from a Tb3+ fluorescent chelate with N,N,N',N'-[2,6-bis(3'-aminomethyl-1'-pyrazoly)-4-phenylpyridine] tetrakis(acetic acid) (BPTA-Tb3+) to organic dye, Cy3 or Cy3.5 has been developed. New method combined the use of BPTA-Tb3+ labeled streptavidin, Cy3 or Cy3.5 labeled anti-BSM monoclonal antibody and biotinylated BSM-BSA conjugate (BSA is bovine serum albumin) for competitive-type immunoassay. After BPTA-Tb3+ labeled streptavidin was reacted with a competitive immune reaction solution containing biotinylated BSM-BSA, BSM sample and Cy3 or Cy3.5 labeled anti-BSM monoclonal antibody, the sensitized and long-lived emission of Cy3 or Cy3.5 derived from FRET was measured, and thus the concentration of BSM in sample was calculated. The present method has the advantages of rapidity, simplicity and high sensitivity since the B/F (bound reagent/free reagent) separation steps and the solid-phase carrier are not necessary. The method gives the detection limit of 2.10 ng ml(-1). The coefficient variations of the method are less than 1.5% and the recoveries are in the range of 95-105% for BSM water sample measurement.

Preparation and a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay application of new europium fluorescent nanoparticles

New silica-based europium fluorescent nanoparticles having surface amino groups were prepared by a covalent binding-copolymerization technique. In the nanoparticles, the fluorescent Eu3+ chelate molecules were covalently bound to silicon atoms to protect the nanoparticles from dye leaking in bio-applications. The amino groups on the surface of nanoparticles made the surface modification and bioconjugation of nanoparticles easier. The nanoparticles were characterized and developed as a new type of fluorescence probe for a highly sensitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) of human hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).

Uso agrícola de composto de lixo: efeito do tempo de incubação solo/resíduo na disponibilidade de micronutrientes.

Visando dar uma solução para o problema do lixo urbano que foram coletados, analisados e interpretados teores dos micronutrientes Cu, Fe, Mg e Zn, em cinco tipos de solos, duas profundidades, utilizando-se quatro doses de composto de lixo (CL) e quatro períodos de incubação. Concluiu-se que o CL pode ser uma importante fonte de micronutrientes ao solo necessitando, no entanto, de legislação que regulamente seu uso adequado. Quanto a dinâmica dos micronutrientes no tempo foi dependente do tipo de solo, a profundidade só afetou os teores disponíveis, sendo os maiores valores observados nos solos Brunizem (B) e Terra Roxa Estruturada (TR).

Fragments of place : revealing sense of place through shared phone images.

Is an interactive new media art installation that explores how the sharing of images, normally hidden on mobile phones, can reveal more about people's sense of place and this ultimately shared experience. Traditional views on sense of place, as exemplified by Wagner (1972) and Relph (1976), characterise the experience as a fusion of meaning, act and context. Indeed, Relph suggests that it is not just the identity of a place that is important, but also the identity that a person or group has with that place, in particular whether they are experiencing it as an ‘insider’ or ‘outsider’. This work stimulates debate concerning the impact of technology on sense of place. Technology offers a number of bridges between the real and virtual worlds, but in so doing places an increased tension on the sense of place and subsequently the identity of the individual. This, coupled with the increased use of camera phones, has enabled the documentation of all aspects of our lives, the things we do, the objects we encounter and the places we inhabit. The installation taps into these hidden electronic resources by letting people share their sense of place associated with a large scale event. The work explores the changing nature of the sense of place of performers, visitors and residents over the duration of the event. Interaction with the installation will transform the viewer into performer, echoing Relph’s insider-outsider dichotomy

Optimization of physical and optical properties of biodegradable edible films based on pea starch and guar gum

The influence of process variables (pea starch, guar gum and glycerol) on the viscosity (V), solubility (SOL), moisture content (MC), transparency (TR), Hunter parameters (L, a, and b), total color difference (ΔE), yellowness index (YI), and whiteness index (WI) of the pea starch based edible films was studied using three factors with three level Box–Behnken response surface design. The individual linear effect of pea starch, guar and glycerol was significant (p < 0.05) on all the responses. However, a value was only significantly (p < 0.05) affected by pea starch and guar gum in a positive and negative linear term, respectively. The effect of interaction of starch × glycerol was also significant (p < 0.05) on TR of edible films. Interaction between independent variables starch × guar gum had a significant impact on the b and YI values. The quadratic regression coefficient of pea starch showed a significant effect (p < 0.05) on V, MC, L, b, ΔE, YI, and WI; glycerol level on ΔE and WI; and guar gum on ΔE and SOL value. The results were analyzed by Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the second order polynomial models were developed from the experimental design with reliable and satisfactory fit with the corresponding experimental data and high coefficient of determination (R2) values (>0.93). Three-dimensional response surface plots were established to investigate the relationship between process variables and the responses. The optimized conditions with the goal of maximizing TR and minimizing SOL, YI and MC were 2.5 g pea starch, 25% glycerol and 0.3 g guar gum. Results revealed that pea starch/guar gum edible films with appropriate physical and optical characteristics can be effectively produced and successfully applied in the food packaging industry.

Quadsim Version 2.1 Student Manual

Quadsim is an intermediate code simulator. It allows you to "run" programs that your compiler generates in intermediate code format. Its user interface is similar to most debuggers in that you can step through your program, instruction by instruction, set breakpoints, examine variable values, and so on. The intermediate code format used by Quadsim is that described in [Aho 86]. If your compiler generates intermediate code in this format, you will be able to take intermediate-code files generated by your compiler, load them into the simulator, and watch them "run." You are provided with functions that hide the internal representation of intermediate code. You can use these functions within your compiler to generate intermediate code files that can be read by the simulator. Quadsim was inspired and greatly influenced by [Aho 86]. The material in chapter 8 (Intermediate Code Generation) of [Aho 86] should be considered background material for users of Quadsim.

Performance Evaluation of Two-Shadow Speculative Concurrency Control

Speculative Concurrency Control (SCC) [Best92a] is a new concurrency control approach especially suited for real-time database applications. It relies on the use of redundancy to ensure that serializable schedules are discovered and adopted as early as possible, thus increasing the likelihood of the timely commitment of transactions with strict timing constraints. In [Best92b], SCC-nS, a generic algorithm that characterizes a family of SCC-based algorithms was described, and its correctness established by showing that it only admits serializable histories. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the Two-Shadow SCC algorithm (SCC-2S), a member of the SCC-nS family, which is notable for its minimal use of redundancy. In particular, we show that SCC-2S (as a representative of SCC-based algorithms) provides significant performance gains over the widely used Optimistic Concurrency Control with Broadcast Commit (OCC-BC), under a variety of operating conditions and workloads.
